Yeah, we have to talk about the indictments. But we've got a huge election in Ohio next week, so we welcome back David Pepper to run down what's happening in the huge special election.

But first - the one stat that shows just how little these indictments are going to affect the Republican presidential primary. Joe and David explain why they may hurt Trump in the general, but the ultra-MAGA crowd has the primary locked down. And in Ohio - Why the Issue 1 vote is the front line in the fight for democracy and our rights and how we must stop the far right's attempt to claw back a victory by changing the rules.
